HID 2026 State of Security and Identity Report

March 3, 2026

The security perimeter has collapsed. Not because of cloud, not because of remote work—but because organizations finally realize that the person badging into Building 3 and the user logging into Salesforce are the same human, and treating them differently is the vulnerability.

Gone are the days when security operates in a vacuum. Instead, security is poised to touch every part of the organization, as security leaders find a seat at the table and help navigate the future of their companies.

Convergence has been an overarching theme in the last year or so, with the proliferation of security program optimization and integration of solutions for seamless response. However, the transformation seen in this year’s survey takes this optimization even farther, conveying just how much today’s end-user organizations require (and plan to utilize) more cross-functional integration to power their security programs.
